Giant Postcard Sent to the Planning Inquiry

Giant Postcard from Cumbria sent to the Planning Inquiry Inspector

Keep Cumbrian Coal in the Hole

This is a Giant Postcard from Cumbria sent to the Coal Mine Planning Inquiry Inspector.

Guest artist is internationally acclaimed Julian Cooper with ‘Towards the Sea, Scafell’ the painting is accompanied by a poem from Millom poet Norman Nicholson called ‘Windscale’ (now known as Sellafield) which would be just five miles from the coal mine.

Windscale By Millom Poet, Norman Nicholson 1914-1987

The toadstool towers infest the shore:

Stink-horns that propagate and spore

Wherever the wind blows.

Scafell looks down from the bracken band

And sees hell in a grain of sand,

And feels the canker itch between his toes.

This is a land where the dirt is clean

And poison pasture, quick and green,

And storm sky, bright and bare;

Where sewers flow with milk, and meat

is carved up for the fire to eat,

And children suffocate in God’s fresh air.

Artworks are multi disciplinary including video, music…

Earthquakes From Coal Mining – Blind Spot

Don’t Let The Coal Mine (Near Sellafield) Planning Inquiry Have Earthquake Blind Spot

Keep Cumbrian Coal in the Hole

Dear Friends

Thank you for everything you have done and are doing to stop the Cumbrian Coal Mine.
Please help to PUT EARTHQUAKE AND “EXPECTED” SUBSIDENCE FRONT AND CENTRE of the Planning Inquiry as it quite rightly was in the Fracking Inquiries –
Coal mining is actually far worse than fracking (which is bad enough!) for induced seismicity and Sellafield is just five miles away. To not put earthquake and subsidence front and centre of this planning inquiry would be to allow the Secretary of State to turn a blind eye to arguably the most damning and dangerous aspects of this coal mine. Currently earthquake and subsidence is not even included in things that the planning inspector will look at. This is appalling and a far cry from the Fracking Inquiries which majored on earthquake risks.

Please sign this new petition to the Planning Inspector and lets make sure he…

Guardian Article : What About the Appointment of Coal Mine Boss to Nuke Dump Plan??

On Monday an otherwise good article in the Guardian continued the ongoing high level omission that the Cumbrian Coal Boss has been appointed to the Government Nuke Dump Plan. When will this breathtaking cronyism and some would say example of governmental corruption be exposed and scrutinised by commentators in the UK mainstream media. It is …

GDF – LDNP Back in the mix?

From Cumbria Trust “Despite Allerdale Working Group repeatedly telling the public and the national park itself that the Lake District has been ruled out of the search area, the individual who volunteered the whole of Allerdale for this process, Andy Ross, has now said that this the Lake District may go back into the search area at the next stage, contradicting the Chair of the Working Group he is on, who says the opposite! ” Cumbria Trust are opposing a nuclear dump under the Lake District – good but that leaves the door wide open as the ‘Lake District’ is merely a line on the map.
Lakes Against Nuclear Dump (a Radiation Free Lakeland campaign) are opposing a deep nuclear dump anywhere – the science does not support it ANYWHERE. Of course the Lake District is up for grabs while this insane process continues. Good on Cumbria Trust for exposing the vulnerability of all of Cumbria to the goverment’s plan for “Delivery” of a deep nuclear waste dump for heat generating nuclear wastes..

Cumbria Trust

Allerdale Working Group met behind closed doors in July and decided which parts of Allerdale may become the burial site for the UK’s vast stockpile of nuclear waste.  Cumbria Trust was refused permission to be involved in the site selection, and Allerdale Working Group is still refusing to reveal its choice to us as that’s how the rules of the process have been arbitrarily defined.

The similarities with the previous failed process, MRWS, are clear.  When the geological screening report didn’t produce the outcome they would have preferred, they supressed it, only to release an amended version 3 months later in which the Solway Plain had switched from excluded to included.  As with the current process, these meetings and deliberations were hidden from the public gaze.  

Allerdale Working Group has informed us that it now expects the search area will be published in late September.  This is the latest possible release if it…
